Classify the following soils according to the USCS. 1. This material has 74% fine to coarse sub-angular reddish sand and 26% organic and silty dark brown fines. The liquid limit (not dried) is 37% while it is 26% when oven dried. The plastic index (not dried) is 6.
2. A soil with some organic odor was observed to change color to dark brown when wet. Additional examination of the soil resulted in LL (not dried) = 32, LL (oven dried) = 21, and PI (not dried) = 10. The soil showed weak reaction with HCL.
3. A soil characterized by the following description: "78 % fine to coarse, hard, subrounded to subangular gravel; 16 % silty (estimated fines); moist, brown; no reaction with HCL; original field sample had 7 % hard, subrounded cobbles and 2 % hard, subrounded boulders with a maximum dimension of 18 in.
4. A sample of well-graded gravel with sand has 73% fine to coarse sub-angular gravel, 25% fine to coarse sub-angular sand, and 2% fines. The maximum size of the particles is 75 mm. The coefficient of curvature is 2.7, while the uniformity coefficient is 12.4.
5. This sand has 61% predominately-fine sand, 23% silty fines, and 16% fine subrounded gravel size. The maximum size is 20 mm. The liquid limit is 33% and the plastic limit is 27%.

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?
